SESSIONS

Track Session 1: Beyond Bible Knowledge: Transforming Lives
The way the Western church has communicated spiritual truths has relied much more on what we are learning (the Greek model), than who we are learning from (the Hebrew model). Knowing Scripture is important but for life transformation to happen, we need revelation from the Holy Spirit and the will to obey.
Time: Wednesday, 2:15pm – 3:15pm
Location: Level 2 - Choir Room
Speaker: Dave Buehring

Track Session 2: Beyond Bible Stories: Discipling Kids at the Next Level
Bible stories are important. They're an essential part of helping children understand the life of Jesus, the heroes of the faith, and who God is. But we have to go beyond the basics. A new Barna report finds that to truly prepare our children for faith-filled adulthood, we need to consider reframing "children's ministry" as something closer to "child discipleship."
Time: Thursday, 8:00am – 9:00am
Location: Level 2 - Choir Room
Speakers: Dave Buehring and Lauri Jarvis

Track Session 3: Beyond Busy: Living at the Pace of Jesus
Jesus spent a short time on Earth even though he had a lot to do. He was surrounded by needs, but he never seemed driven by them. He was never in a hurry and always on time. Let's explore what we can learn from the pacing of Jesus and challenge ourselves to do the same.
Time: Thursday, 11:00am – 12:00pm
Location: Level 2 - Choir Room
Speakers: Dave Buehring and Nancy Reece

Track Session 4: Beyond 9-to-5: Vocational Disciple Making
Christians know that their faith should impact every facet of their lives including their work. But how does discipleship fit into that part of our lives? You can discover your calling through your work, and it's possible to connect your vocation with the Great Commission. Come and find out why and how to make disciples among those who share your vocation.
Time: Thursday, 1:00pm – 2:00pm
